Update: The future of City Stadium
What will become of one of the oldest sporting venues in RVA?
Update #1 — February 4, 2014; 1:19 PM
Richmond BizSense.com takes a look at some of the possibilities at City Stadium. One option is sports focused while the other is more residential.
The first study by Chicago-based Hunden Strategic Partners included a $23.2 million indoor multisport stadium for the 20 acres below the “old and generally obsolete” City Stadium and a nearby parking lot.
The Richmond Urban Land Institute took on the second study, focused on residential options and had three suggestions.
- Single-family project with 75 to 125 detached homes or between 120 and 180 townhouses.
- A senior living campus.
- An apartment complex dubbed “The Bowl,” which would add 500 apartments.
Neither sets of plans presented any Richmond Kickers focus. The Kickers have been the primary tenant since 2010.
